YAY! First map: Naboo: waterfront

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 8:37 pm

ok.. ill lower the max fly hieght... but i already cleaned and munged, and it turned into that sky

But you know... the Sky color makes the battlefield look more "crisp" and "realisitic". What do you guys think? I think the sky looks pretty good... it's like the sunset it covering up the blue sky..

I like it.. what about you?

How do you lower max height? I know I need to do this on my map too

And Elmo, I think its better if you have hills on the side so you can't see the black on the side

yeah.. i'm having hills surround the map.. so it's almost like a valley... to lower or make higher the max fly height go into your LUA and change the numbers to whatever height you want.

SetMaxFlyHeight(30)
SetMaxPlayerFlyHeight (30)

Elmo which assests are you using? The attached picture is what I was doing earlier, it is using the assets from
BF1 Naboo world 2. Also are you still using the .sky file that was created when you first created the map? If so
that may be why you still have the Yavin sky.

That is a totally flat terrain and any hills you see are just a picture.

that is beautiful and that is what i want... i deleted the Yav Sky assets.. but when i cleaned and munged i got that wierd sky color...

i think i was using the world1 assets of Naboo...

Edit: But seriously... what do you think of the sky i have now?

Edit#2: Ok.. what exactly did you do FragMe!? I would love to know.

Elmo
I appolgize it was the assests from BF1 Naboo world one. Basically I copied everything with the word sky in it
to my maps world folder including the naboo1.sky file. I then copied my sky file somewhere else for safe keeping
(can't be too careful) then I deleted my .sky file and renamed it to, in my case, NSS.sky.
I then cleaned, remunged, lauched the game and viola hills. There are a couple of waterfall files there which when on time
I played with them I had nice waterfalls in the map but I can't remember what I did to get them. I am getting old memory is going.

Hope that helps and once again sorry for giving inaccurate info modding is fun enough to deal with without having bad info.

Best thing to do for a first map: Lots of complicated crap!

Keep up the good work.

Glad I could help Elmo looks very nice.
Just a note since there are flyers you will want to put in a map bounds (return to battle) thing
as you will see if you fly to close to the edge the mountains are actually reflected under the
terrain.

Cheers

yeah.. how exactly do i put bounds? I tried but they didn't work

Captain_Mazda · Post by **Captain_Mazda** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 5:52 pm

Create the boundary in ZE and call it in the REQ :/
